Oh, she does, she does. It's just difficult for the untrained eye to recognise a corgi-curtsey. Ever notice how the corgis are always a few steps behind her? I've also seen footage of them backing out of the room.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

A kiss to the back of the hand and a curtsy is demanded from Lady Jan's "Man-in-Waiting"...you will be wise to follow protocol.. remember two weeks can go very slowly when punishement is being dished out..

I do a lovely full court curtsey -- or is My Lady wanting merely modern quick one?

Andy a Modern quickie is fine by me..

You think her pig does that before she barges into the house??

No but she does Knock before she comes in..seriously.. and Ann, she (Kooni) has no choice, she comes in she has to back out she's too fat to turn around..

Jan may be a lady, and Rick may be a Laird, but let's not forget that we will be bringing the QUEEN - complete with tiara. That makes me the Queen Mother (and Hubby the Queen Daddy?). I expect full and proper hommage. I'm also a land owner, which makes me the Lady of the Manor. However, I won't expect anyone to call me by my title, it would take way too long and might bring unwelcomed attention.

edited to add: I did tell Hubby that we could just drop Mim off and disappear. As long as we showed up twice a day to give her meds, no one would miss us.

That puts a great big smile on my face. You are so right. Mim will do just fine, thank you.

oh, and I can't promise you about the homework. It's in the blood. I mean, it just seems so natural to talk about the Boston Tea Party when you're in Boston. And, of course, that leads to taxiation without representation, and Paul Revere and the Old North Church and 'one if by land and two if by sea' and it never stops.

First, let me say, this is all just 'extra credit' for little Mim but it is required reading for all of those over the age of 18.

It's quite simple, Paul Revere's Ride (also known as The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere) opens the door for all of us to experience the richness of Boston, her history, the landscape, the buildings and the people. . All the furor and madness and revolutionary fervor that led up to the American Revolution centers around Boston and that poem.

It's really important to know this stuff because, as you all know, Dennis has arranged a walking tour/scavanger hunt for us. The key to a winning team is to know your history. The best way to do that is to read Longfellow's poem.

ps. for the young at heart HERE is the website for Paul Revere's Kids.

Not to be a downer ... but Paul Revere was/is overrated. First of all he didn't even make it to warn that the British were coming (he was captured). Then afterwards he billed the gov't for his expenses that night!

While not from Boston Sybil Ludington is a more worthwhile hero to study and she was only 16 years old. IMHO

And if M'Lady Jan wants a modern quickie then thats what she'll get.

This thread is a train wreck if you ask me. It covers everything from self proclaimed and/or incestuously manufactured, and self serving phony titles of royalty, to Jan's desire to a quickie (now there's a topic I have no need to delve into), to picking teams for the scavenger hunt, and a history hoedown between Robert and Andrew.

You're all nuts if you ask me!

I'm just sayin!

RAB

(Crazy ass fools, the whole lot of them. Lord! If they had a brain they'd take it out and play with it. If you ask me there isn't a sane person among them! Not one!)

We all love you RAB, and you love us and you know it! As a matter of a fact, I have bought a very trendy backpack to use in Boston - just for you. That way, you won't have to spend your time snatching my purse and demonstrating the proper way to carry it whilst in public.

I agree with Jan, RAB is jealous and he deserves pity . Just be glad that none of us have to sit next to him on a plane as we travel 'cross country. Don't worry about Hubby, Jan. He's managed to stay married to me for 16yrs without any major mental breakdowns or heavy sedatives.

Well, you all might be "crazy" as some suggest - and a healthy fear may be in order -- but I do have one thing up sleeve. I lived in Boston for a few years, so I DO know how to get around and might just be of value to someone in a situation like, oh, I don't know --- a scavenger hunt. Not too mention the ability to help folks figure out how to get from point A to point B (or NOT). It's not royalty -- but it IS something of value.

I should add -- I'm not much into bowing or curtseying (is that a word??), but I'm always willing to give a hug when warranted......

this is just Mike's roundabout way of telling us he knows how to ditch us should we embarrass him too much and he just can't take it anymore.

Trust me you've got the right idea.
